Lady is a lovely Toy Fox Terrier rescued by the good people of Mango Gator Tours. She is soooo much smaller than she looks in these photos. This is a very sweet loving pup. She likes other dogs but, if she is to share a home with one, she wants to make sure she gets the lion's share of the attention. What can I say? She deserves it!

10/28 Foster Update:
Lady fits her name completely. She is quite the little lady. Just a sweet as could be, she can be a little timid when you first meet her but she quickly recovers. She gets along great with other dogs but we don't know for sure about cats since she hasn't really been around them but with her personality I'm pretty sure she'd be fine. She walks beautifully on the leash and is crate-trained. She really is a very wonderful little lady.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Toy Fox Terrier was developed in the USA in the 1930's. It is directly descended from the Smooth Fox Terrier, whose standard dates from 1876. It was miniaturized in the United States through careful breeding. Crosses with English Toy Terriers, Chihuahuas, and Italian Greyhounds have refined its features, and calmed its disposition. Its first use was hunting rats.
The Toy Fox Terrier may be physically small, but this is a robust little terrier that retains all the passion of its Fox Terrier ancestors. This breed thinks he is big! The breed is tough and bright, but stubborn. Curious and active, the Toy Fox Terrier keeps its young spirit throughout its life. They are intelligent, loving, sensitive and pleasant. It is very alert, inquisitive and quick. This is a companion dog that has not forgotten its ancient terrier instincts, and will therefore fight mice and small animals. This athletic little dog loves the hunt. Affectionate and very loyal. This breed is an exceptionally intelligent, trainable dog. Some have been trained to assist handicapped people around the home. It has proven to be an excellent hearing dog for the deaf. It can be trained to take its human companion to the sources of sounds, such as the telephone. The Toy Fox Terrier I met was not a yapper. His owner said he only barked when necessary. He was friendly with children, but I would not recommended him as a small child companion due to its tiny, fragile size. This happy dog is sure to bring smiles to the faces of nearly all who meet it, due to its energetic and forever youthful antics. It has a life expectancy of 13-15 years.
